A notice has just been put through my door:
On Wednesday 31st October a skip will be placed on blah-di-blah.
This is to give you the opportunity to clear unwanted items from your home.
The skip will be delivered on Tuesday afternoon at 2pm and it will be collected promptly to avoid overfilling.
That means it has actually already BEEN delivered and is probably half full by now! Nice idea HBC but it would have been an even nicer idea to have actually been informed of this in advance so that I had time to sort out my junk - but I suppose that would have been too much to hope for.
No doubt if my bin is too full in future they will drag up the fact that they did provide a skip for all the excess junk.

Only for it turn into a race between myself and two builders at the top of the road who had been doing a front garden and decided to dump there stuff in as well!
Well needless to say I was cream crackered when I finished and had arms similar to an Orang-utan but was happy I had beaten the builders and done it without it going above the fill line. But next morning when the Council came to collect it, what a site it was! must have been fifteen foot above the rim and to top it off somebody had balanced a four foot shed on top of it!
